His master, Demon

Ignoring the demon's question, the girl stood up and faced the mirror in front of her. She pulled all her hair to one side and exposed her neck, flashing the mark sealed on her that is of the same design on the mark that is now sitting on top of Ciel's right hand.

"It's beautiful,' the young lady said silently.' Ciel could only raise his eyebrow to that.

What a foolish girl, Ciel thought. The mark will be your doom. It's anything but beautiful. It's very ugly actually. It doesn't only ink on your skin but it's ugliness and filthiness goes deep into your soul, marking you as mine, as you have contacted a demon. As you have contacted me.

'So what is it that you desire, my lady?'

'Death' Vanessa said simply, 'I want the person that robbed me out of my happiness to die before me.'

'The man I love was killed in front of me,' Vanessa began, 'I'm a daughter of an average merchant. Therefore being able to attract a Viscount is unheard of. Viscount Midleton has been courting me relentlessly after the ball even if I am already engaged. My parents were blinded by the gold and rank he could offer, they broke off my engagement.'

'Here I am now, demon, not in my bedroom but a prison. They have locked me here since I tried to run away with my fiancé. He was killed in front of me. But that was not all. Before he was killed..that Viscount…that man..he touches me. Perhaps to satiate his needs….perhaps to hurt both my finace and I. He humiliated me and I suffer pain worse than death. '

Ciel sighed. He thought he knew enough of how despicable men can be but surely he still have more to learn. Apparently, people would go to any length to prove they are better, that they can overpower the weaker ones, to prove they are the master of the game.

But what can Ciel say, now he is not the master anymore. In this game, he will let the girl lead. Let her be his master, his ladyship, and he will, for the first time, he's just a pawn to trying to complete tasks and sacrifice for the King in this game.

Oh, my, how I have fallen, he chuckled to his own little joke.

'So would the ladyship wish for his death alone or would u like to revenge on ur parents too? They did take part to help him kill your lover, didn't they?' Ciel asked and enjoy watching the girl before him frown deep in disapproval upon hearing about her parent's possible death.

'No, leave them out of this,' she said as she regain her composure then glared at Ciel, 'they'll probably gonna suffer after my revenge on the Viscount end and you take my soul anyway.'

Yes, after everything has ended, after revenge is archived, nothing else is there but despair. You don't feel better that you inflicted pain on others. You don't bring back the death. You end up dying, for eternity too since you sell your soul to the devil, and the sufferers are those who love you. Seeing you suffer all these times and finally die before their eyes. And they will have to continue to live with that pain. They, those people who cared about him, Ciel thought to himself… Elizabeth..Aunt Francis, his faithful servants…

'There are many ways to kill him, but I'm in no hurry. He planned to marry me as soon as possible after all the preparations for the wedding is finished. And I will marry him.'

'And how will I come of service?' Ciel asked.

'Just wait and see, I will rob everything he adored so much right before his eyes.' Vanessa said and smirked. An evil smirk she probably never bore on her pretty innocent face before. But the most innocent soul will be the most rotten one after they have learnt what the world have in store for them.

'And, you don't have a name or anything? What do I call you?'

'You're my lady now, as long as I'm in your service, I will serve you alone and I will be anything you want me to be. (As long as I'm capable of), ' Ciel replied smoothly. When he was a human, he deceives to get information, he was a spy for the queen, and now that he's a demon, that characteristic seemed to accentuate even more. The fact that he is now more powerful than any of those human make him a little bit more cocky than he already is and he feel more than comfortable to make conversation with strangers, charm his way with women. He can deceive way better than before. And to make this meal more delicious and entertaining, he will deceive her, make this creature that is so full of vengeance and desperate for love believe he will take care of her. Be there for her and once everything is over he will devour her while watching the look of utter betrayal flashes on her face.

A demon, indeed.

'I will call you for what you are. Demon.'

Blue light glowed on both their contract mark seals and they both feel it. So she name a demon, Demon. How clever.

Yes, a demon indeed.

[[Bound to You]]

Ciel and Sebastian's house is a 2 story building far away from the city as to Ciel's liking of being alone. It is surrounded by large trees almost looked like the house is swallowed by the forest. The trees was quite useful for the passing years used as Ciel's practice ground as well as a comfort couch as now that Ciel discover he liked to sit on the top of the trees doing is reading. The first story of the house is the living room that consists of nothingness. Just sofa for them to rest that they rarely rest in. The kitchen that is spotless as they never bother cooking. No one eat that anyway. Upstairs were Ciel's and Sebastian's bedroom, in front of each other and further the corridor was a large room, collections of all Ciel's books and documents he felt important to keep.

That day, Ciel come back home to find Sebastian sitting on the sofa waiting for him. Now at least that sofa could be of use in his living room but how unbecoming of his butler …

'Greetings young master,' Sebastian started, 'I believe we didn't quite finish our conversation before you leap off.'

'there is nothing to discuss, Sebastian. We both know it's sooner or later before I enter a contract.'

'Apparently young master feel the needs to make it sooner rather than later I believe, why the rush, master? There are many demons around; you didn't have to go as I explained. Or the master was too bored being the King and now prefer to be the pawn in command instead? That could have been arranged.'

Ciel huffed, his servant wouldn't let this one go, would he? He doesn't have to deal with this. Sebastian is mad but he'll come around. Ciel is a pawn to his new contractor but to Sebastian, he's still the master. And that is a fact to remain forever nonreversible.

So Ciel ignored Sebastian, for the second time today. He didn't say anything and walked pass the living room and go up stair to his study. He will need to contact several connections to know more about Viscount Midleton. It's his first contract. He planned to do it without his servant's intervention and in perfection and dealing with a demon's emotion is not on his to-do list.

Before Ciel could step into his study, the door shut before him and he was turned around to face a pink-eyed pissed off Sebastian.

'I don't think you understand the problem of this matter, young mas – '

'Now I'm known as Demon.' Ciel smirked as he saw Sebastian's eyebrow furrowed further.

'to me you're still my young master, you cheated once when you enter another contract with Hannah and we are stuck in this mess, what else do you think will happen when you have another contract?'

'Jealous much?' Ciel mocked. And before he knew it, he was thrown to the ground with a great force. Though he knows, his is a light toss considering his servant's strength, he frowned. This servant needed a lesson.

Sebastian was kicked in the stomach, sending him down the stairs before he could proceed to hurl Ciel's collar as he planned. Since when did his master got this fast? Sebastian thought to himself. Though he couldn't think straight for long for before he could even come to his feet, he felt himself rose above the ground. Now Ciel's holding his collar and they are already out of their house on their practice ground with trees surrounding them.

Now that's really fast, Sebastian thought.

'This is an order Sebastian, duel with me. Using all your strength.' Ciel's eye patch came undone and Sebastian sees both those eyes transform from blue to its real demonic pinkish red eyes.

Sebastian was really impressed. Now that's a demon Ciel.
